Blanchard Rotary Surface Grinders:
We've been selling both
used and reconditioned Blanchard grinders since 1981, grinders of
quality and long lasting dependability.

Blanchard rotary surface grinders, have been in use since the early
1900s. When accuracy of parallelism and flatness are required, an
engineer will typically specify Blanchard grinding of the part. Due
to the basic design of rotary type surface grinders, they inherently
compensate for much of the wear within the grinder and that of a
grinding wheel as the magnetic chuck and grinding wheel rotate in
opposite directions, on the same plane. Experienced operators can
often hold fairly close tolerances with even a worn out Blanchard,
provided they use proper technique.

To assist you in choosing the most appropriate Blanchard grinder
for your facility, we need to know what size magnetic chuck will
be required to hold your part or parts. Then, we will want to know
know how much horse power will be required to handle all of the
parts you are likely to be grinding. Hogging or deep cut grinding
demand more power than light cut or fine finish grinding. What's
the tallest parts you plan on grinding? This is going to determine

the vertical clearance that will be required, between the magnetic
chuck and a new grinding wheel. Last but not least, we will need
to know how much space you have for a Blanchard type grinder.
If space allows, you might consider a dry based type grinder with
a separate external coolant system which will allow for faster and
and easier cleanout of sludge. A wet based Blanchard with coolant
system in the base of the machine will require less room if you are
limited on space in your facility.

Once you have located just the right Blanchard for your particular
needs, whether it's from us or another vendor, it would be wise to
expedite in going to inspect the grinder, since Blanchards usually
sell rather quickly, even in slower economic conditions.
